IOWA CITY — When Iowa visits 2nd-ranked Ohio State on Saturday, it will be a homecoming for Hawkeye tight end Luke Lachey. The sophomore is a native of Columbus and his father is the color analyst on the Buckeye radio broadcast. Jim Lachey was an All-American offensive lineman at Ohio State and spent 10 seasons in the NFL.

Lachey grew up going to Ohio State games and was disappointed when the Buckeyes did not offer him a scholarship.

Lachey is not sure he will get the chance to visit with his dad.

Kickoff in Columbus is scheduled for 11 o’clock with the pre-game at 9 o’clock on AM-1300 KGLO.
